Best Looking Flattracker of all time. Vote.
« on: December 02, 2007, 10:13:00 pm »
Okay guys I've got withdrawal symtoms and I need some motorcycling eye candy. We've done 'Best Looking MX'er of all time' and it was unanimously agreed that the Montesa '77 VB360 was crowned the 'Best Looking MX'er of all time' ;) ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So now we must decide the 'Best Looking Flattracker of all time'.

My nomination is.............



Don't you just love that minimalist spartan functional look  8). And being a Yammy you just know it fast and reliable  ;)

(I have no affiliation of any kind with the nomination. Indeed I can't remember where I stole the piccy from  ::).)

Here some details which is just as sweet as the overall shot.




Ooopps. Don't look too closely at the engine mount welds  :o ::) :P

Now play nice boys :-*. This is an opportunity for those of a 'Hardly Rideable' persuasion who got very confused in associating HD's Big Twins and MX'er in the same sentence  ::) to nominate some very desirable minimalist and functional bad arsed HD's  ;D

P.S. Same rules as before; nominations only accepted when supported by pretty pixies of the subject - I need my fix  :P

It must seem that I'm always nominating one of Alan Jonses bikes every time some brings up one of these "best looking" contests. Anyone who's ever been to his shed or to the races and actually closely checked out his bikes will agree that they are meticulously built with not a thing out of place. Even though all of them are quick, he's a bit of a show pony and the bikes are built with a show hot rod eye for detail. The bike below is pictured while it was under construction but it's now finished. It's a Trackmaster powered by a 90hp 860cc Nourish Weslake twin. It's got the usual Ceriani forks, Barnes quick change rear hub and all of the good stuff and looks even nicer in the flesh.

Bloody Monty's. I had a '77 250, it had 12 gears! 6 forward and 6 neutral. And whats with the kickstarter? You are better off laying down beside the bike to use the kicker properly  :D I must say it handled well and went hard. Don't miss it though! Too bad i cant put anything decent into this thread as im an mxer but shall enjoy the pics anyways

OK guys, just increased the photo folder limit, so you should be able to attach more photos. However that's probably the last increase for a while, so if possible host your photos elsewhere and just link them in.
